Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

Everybody's dream recepient of a punch to the face Andy Robertson with the inside scoop of what it was like outside the ground, from inside the changing rooms.

pretty fucking stupid of klopp to tell fans to show up without a ticket

you’d think they’d have learned from the 2007 final

weird how ac milan and real madrid fans didn’t have any trouble

media seem to be parroting the scouse version of events without query (funny that)

ah well enjoy your parade, don’t let the choice of date overshadow it or anything

Heysel disaster: English football's forgotten tragedy? - BBC News

Obviously long forgotten by Liverpool fans.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Hillsborough was totally different. The stadium was a death trap. The worst crush I have ever been in was watching City there a few years before the disaster and I left that match against Sheffield Wednesday at half time. The stadium did not even have a safety licence. They were different times with fences and pens and all the risks associated with crumbling infrastructure. I suspect what happened last night was the same as the Athens final. Lots got in without tickets while the decent fans paid the price.

Nearly happened the year before with leeds/cov semi.

but …. Ticketless fans were still a contributory factor

Just realised the parade is on the anniversary of Heysel? Doesn’t seem particularly appropriate.

Now, now they wasn't to blame for that. They blame Juventus fans, UEFA, The Belgian FA, The Stadium itself, the media, the contractors who built the stadium, the belgian police, the italian police, Chelsea fans, the Tory government, the BBC, Barry Davies, Jimmy Hill, Vincent Kompanys parents, Kevin De Bruyne parents, Uncle Tom Cobley and all. But they don't blame the biggest elephant in the room, their own "lovable scallies" fans

Not to mention Kyle and Joao

Yup. This debate about the England places should be done really. It's James or Walker for the starting spot, and both can play RWB or RCB. Both superior all round players.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Having a parade with no League title or European cup to show off is also not appropriate.

Depends on how small time your club is.

Yes the police on the continent don't take any messing and as sports spectators we know that, understand it and accept it. Liverpool fans simply have this air of arrogance and entitlement. They overstepped the mark and the police, albeit more trigger happy than ours, responded as expected. Dippers have only themselves to blame (and of course everyone else). Have somehow managed to attend many sporting occasions in Paris, Spain and elsewhere without being batoned, peppered, or charged.

I lived in Spain nigh on 12 years and the Guardia Civil had a fearsome reputation. In time we realised that they were not there to smash your face in but to actually defend you, no matter what nationally you were. I have alot of respect for them. If you step out of line then you best get ready for the consequences.

Am in Paris this weekend and actually the dippers have genuine reason to complain - the police and organisers were shite - it wasn’t an issue of ‘fake tickets’ even genuine ticketed fans got turned away - we had the same issue at RolandGarros the other night - massive queues shit organisation - give Paris a wide berth
If city had got there we’d have had a similar experience - plainly the frogs couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery

100k fans for a game where they only have 20k tickets
No issues in the RM fans
So many lfc fans that a bottle neck happens
LFC fans climbing the fences
Fake tickets being sought even in Rawk for the last few months
Fake tickets at the game.

Blame the French? Blame uefa?

It's exactly that sort of dodging responsibility that leads to disasters.



Would ANY of that above happened if there were just ticket holders at the game? Ie like RM fans? Of course it wouldn't.

But even now, Klopp is whipping that fanbase up into a frenzy talking about buying next year's final tickets.

And the media, scared of Hillsborough references and desperate for clicks, turn a blind eye to it.

Heysel was roughly the same attitude with the lead up to that game. These fuckers WILL get us named from Europe in future.

Have we been blamed for last night yet?
